These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cette chanson se sirote en pleurant
This song sips crying
A la recherche des absents au soleil levant
In search of absentees in the rising sun
La tête basse, on s'obstine
With your head down, you persist
Attendant de quel nuage viendra l'signe
Waiting for what cloud the sign will come from
Bientôt quelqu'un va nous manquer
Soon we'll miss someone
Les yeux, trop petits pour nous planquer
Eyes, too small to hide
La douleur des jours de triste costume
The pain of sad costume days
Qui nous rappelle qu'on n'aime qu'à titre posthume
Reminds us that we only love posthumously
La joie est une révolte matée
Joy is a revolt
Une pluie de l'intérieur colmatée
A rain from the inside clogged
Si le chagrin nous met à l'abri du réconfort
If grief protects us from comfort
Comme on l'a saisi faut qu'on soit fort
As we have grasped, we must be strong
Pour la vie, devant soi
For life, in front of you
La vie est une tristesse à dépasser
Life is a sadness to overcome
Pendant longtemps par des rires d'enfants, des souvenirs d'antan
For a long time with children's laughter, memories of yesteryear
Pendant la chute on s'accroche à des devises
During the fall one clings to currencies
Passée l'inconsolation le silence livre
Past inconsolation the book silence
Une peine aux pages closes, desquelles on s'délivre
A sentence on closed pages, from which one is freed
Par des mots qui prennent la peine et la divise
By words that take the trouble and divide it
Vaut mieux chanter ensemble qu'y penser tout seul
It's better to sing together than to think about it on your own
A cette vie qui continue, sans perdre boussole
To this life that goes on, without losing compass
Nous sur l'écorce terrestre, n'avons plus qu'à aimer ceux qui restent
We on the earth's crust, we only have to love those who remain
Prenons-nous dans les bras pendant que le loup n'y est pas
Let's hug while the wolf isn't there
